Or just build data centers that produce a surplus of renewable energy, don't drain the public water supply and don't pollute the environment. They have more than enough capital to build these responsibly and set a new standard for the industry. They just are choosing not to.
Tech oligarchs could really set the example for the common folk by simply building their mansions right next to their data centers and then live in them with their families.

I’m watching a documentary on World War II. The Nazi higher-ups were still praising Hitler’s genius while the Russians were only 12 miles from the city center of Berlin.

Uhm, maybe because it’s illegal?
Federal statute 18 U.S.C. § 592 prohibits deploying “troops or armed men” to locations where elections are held.
An AG should know this.

Solar surpasses 3 TW nameplate worldwide.
Wind is >1.3 TW. Together, they make up 4.3 TW.
For comparison, US average demand is 0.47 TW, so W+S can now meet a peak of 9x US power demand or, over a year, 2x US electric energy demand.

This. If he had been able to find any evidence at all, we'd have heard about it. Instead he had to resort to lying, and then releasing so-called "evidence" that actually proved he was lying in hopes that no one would read it.
I guess we can see Trump's speech last night as the ultimate proof there was nothing wrong with the 2020 election he lost. He has all the resources of the FBI, the Justice Department, and the intelligence agencies, and Trump couldn't find anything.
